In my own experience I found such responses upsetting in my initial
Linux challenges until I equated it with "just a sign of the times"
words and actions like polite, considerate and respect have lost their
meaning in a segment of our society.
When was the last time as an example you heard a response like yes sir
or no sir except in the military where they have something called a
code of conduct..
Merely the 2 cents of a 77 year old who no longer marvels at the
downside of progress!
